Sis, let’s talk about something we don’t say enough.
We all call it mBC. But mBC is not all the same.
This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we're highlighting Metastatic Breast Cancer (mBC), it's not all the same.
Your stage tells you where the cancer is. Your subtype tells you more about how it behaves — and that can shape the conversations you have with your care team.
So, real talk: Do you know your subtype?

Today marks the start of RSV Awareness Month — and NMQF is launching Protect From Day One, a new campaign focused on helping families prepare for RSV before their babies arrive. 💜
RSV can be more than just a cold, especially for infants and young children. Protect From Day One is designed to give parents, caregivers, health professionals, advocates and community partners accessible information to help start conversations about RSV protection early — including conversations with an OB/GYN or pediatrician.
As RSV season gets underway, we’ll be sharing resources to help families know what questions to ask, understand their options and feel more prepared from day one.
Want to learn more about the campaign or find ways to collaborate?

November is American Diabetes Month, a time to recognize the millions of people living with diabetes and the health complications that can come with it.

Your questions deserve attention. I KAN. Together, We KAN.

🧠 This World Stroke Day, we're highlighting why prevention, early recognition, and equitable access to care matter.
High blood pressure and high cholesterol can increase stroke risk, while a stroke can also affect memory, thinking, and everyday life.
Through Talk About Alzheimer’s and There’s Levels to This, the National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) encourages informed conversations about brain health, cholesterol, and prevention—especially in communities disproportionately affected by health disparities.

Read the article and explore NMQF’s campaigns to learn more.
